{{quote|''There's a reason that ''Super 8'', its cool thrills, also seems a work of innocence: it takes incidental inspiration from the films of a director who, back in 1979, was the J.J. Abrams of his day. Look closely and you'll see that ''Super 8'' [[George Lucas Throwback|is a medley of tropes from the films of Spielberg's early prime.]]''|'''Richard Corliss''', [[Time (magazine)|''Time'' magazine]]<ref>[http://entertainment.time.com/2011/06/02/super-8-movie-review/ ''Super 8:'' Just as Great as You Hoped It Would Be] (June 02, 2011)</ref>}}
''Super 8'' is a 2011 [[Science Fiction Films|science fiction film]] written and directed by [[J.J. Abrams]] and produced by [[Steven Spielberg]]. It is an homage to classic "adventurous children" movies, particularly those made/produced by Spielberg like ''[[E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial|ET the Extraterrestrial]]'', ''[[The Goonies]]'' and especially ''[[Close Encounters of the Third Kind]]''.
Line 10:
An interactive version of the teaser trailer is bundled with ''[[Portal 2]]'', found in the game's Extras section. There's also a prequel comic book that was bundled into the second issue of the ''[[Batman: Arkham City]]'' comic book tie-in. It details the 1958 events referred to in the film and how Col. Nelec got involved with the situation. It can be read [http://www.super8comiccontest.com/ here] (SPOILERS ALERT).
